Kiel Outdoor Benthocosms – KOB
outdoor – benthic – marine/brackish
Floating infrastructure consisting of sub-dividable 3500 liter tanks, optionally covered by a fully translucent hood. When the system works in a flow-through mode all in situ fluctuations are admitted to the tanks and experimental treatments represent controlled deviations (delta-treatments) from this naturally fluctuating baseline
KOB: CO2, temperature, irradiation, nutrients, oxygen, salinity
KOB: responses of benthic communities to environmental shifts/fluctuations in temperature, pH, pCO2, oxygen, nutrients, salinity
KOB: insulated tanks with 12 experimental units, heaters, coolers, automated, gas mixing unit, wave generators, internal circulation system, flow through system, surface and deep water supply, programmable climate simulation
